The menu bar contains commands for performing activities relative to the current view. In the Volume View shown in Figure 2-1, the Volumes menu provides commands for managing volumes. Menus and commands change when you switch views. If you switch from Volume View to Physical Storage View, the Volume menu changes to Storage and all the volume-related commands in the Volume menu change to commands relevant to managing the physical storage on the xStack Storage array. The toolbar appears below the menu bar and provides buttons for frequently performed activities in the current view. If you place the pointer over a button in the toolbar, a tooltip identifies the button's function. Figure 2-3, shows the tooltip that appears when the pointer is moved over the Volume View button on the toolbar. The buttons displayed on the toolbar change depending on the current view. If you prefer to hide the toolbar, uncheck Show Toolbar on the View menu. Figure 2-2 shows an example of how the menu bar and toolbar appear in the Volume View. xStack Storage Management Center Software User's Guide 11
